Dayton Moore Discounts Meche Rumors
The most popular rumors flying around the Royals during the Winter Meetings on Monday involved pitcher Gil Meche.
There was speculation that he might go to the New York Mets in a deal involving second baseman Luis Castillo. There was even a report the Chicago Cubs were discussing a Meche for outfielder Milton Bradley swap with the Royals.
All of which brought this somewhat incredulous reaction from Royals general manager Dayton Moore: "Unbelievable."

"I think it's important that we build around Zack Greinke and Joakim and Billy Butler, Gordon, [pitcher Luke] Hochevar, Callaspo. That's not to say that if we get some type of offer on any of our players, we wouldn't have to look at it and be open-minded," Moore said.

Yuniesky Improves Royals Defense
Trying to improve the Royals’ defense, Moore also mentioned that “[Yuniesky] Betancourt and Getz will give us some steadiness in the middle.” Although Callaspo is assumed to be available on the trade market because of Getz’s arrival from the White Sox, Moore noted that manager Trey Hillman could “mix and match” both players in the lineup. Callaspo could play some third or outfield as well as second.
“Alberto was better once Betancourt was there, but it just gives us more consistency there with Getz in the mix,” Mooresaid. “The guy had six or seven errors in 100 games or something like that, so he’s a pretty sure-handed guy and a heady player.”

Dayton, you keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.

Dayton does stats!!!!!
On Getz:
“The guy had six or seven errors in 100 games or something like that, so he’s a pretty sure-handed guy and a heady player.”
I don't think its every been a question of whether or not he followed stats...
its that he only cares about the ones that dont matter, or the ones that were good when said player played with Atlanta or Seattle.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.
I used to work with an old man that told me- Son, every workplace has a dumbass. If you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
